THE LoNpcm JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS PROM THE MORNING PAPERS, MAY 10, 1826. [Tip TIMES.] A most singular and sudden change has taken place in the intentions of Ministers with respect to the • Scold) banking system. After all their braggadocio assurances, that the measures which they proposed for England should extend throughout the island, Scot land, it appears, is still to be exempted from the ope ration of the British law, and is to carry on her bank ing trade as usual, under the aggravated mischief of the new and uncongenial system about to be introduced in England.- This is a mightily pusillanimous affair on tbe part of Ministers. The Committee which has sat upon the business are expected to report, by a ma jority of 3 to 1, against the proposed change in rela tion to Scotland : and it may be certainly said, " why go into a Committee at all, if the investigation there be incapable of operating any change in an opinion already formed ?" Yet, somehow or other, it has generally hap pened that the reports of Committees have been found to coincide with the opinions of Ministers previously expressed : Ministers would not appoint a Committee to contradict themselves." It would be like the Pope calling a general council to controvert one of his own rescripts on an affair of discipline. Let us see what Mr. Robinson thought to be the province of the Committee. "He confessed" (he says in the debate of the 15th of March) " that the more he had ap plied. his attention to them, the more he had become persuaded that the opponents to the new regulations were without any ground whereon they could rely for refusing to adopt them in the case of . Scotland. It appeared to him that the most prudent and effectual mode for all parties would be, to allow a full, free, and unreserved consideration to be given to the sub jedt' before a Select Committee." Mr. Robinson, therefore, thought of a Committee; but a Committee— not to subvert, but to confirm his own opinion on the 'subject of the banks in Scotland ; that opinion being, that the " opponents of the new measure were without any ground on which they could rely for refusing to adopt them in Scotland." We could cite many more instances of the unalterable determination of Ministers to enforce the measures in Scotland, ma/gre all . opposition yet the " unalterable determin a ti on is altered. We have only now, therefore, to ask, why the new regulations should be imposed upon England ? A General is said always to call a Council of War when he is determined not to fight. It is only, there fore, necessary, since Committees have undertaken so new an office as apparently to contradict Ministers, to select a fresh Committee, which shall repeal the intro &Action into England of a measure of which Ministers have in like manner said that there are not any grounds why it should be not there introduced. The same Right Hon. Gentleman only says, " that should the House reject this measure (as to England), he should not envy any' man who might happen to fill the situa tion which ho had then the honour to hold, the re sponsibility that must attach to him in endeavouring to struggle against difficulties, which must daily in crease on him from the present Istein, in proportion as sonic efficient remedy was delayed." [NEW TIMES.] It is understood that the Committee of the' House of Commons appointed to examine into the Scotch and Irish systems of banking, will report favourably of the former, and probably of the latter. We believe that the evidence in favour of the Scotch banking sys tem has been found more satisfactory than was appre hended. We formerly observed, that if the Scottish people believed their prosperity to be connected with their banking system, they were right to petition for its support and maintenance. In petitioning they were by no means backwarl Every tovvii in Scotland, we believe, petitioned. They sent deputies to give evidence on the practical effect of the present system ; aid a Committee was appointed to report on that evi dence. Nothing could be fairer than the examination. It turned out that there was much more to be said ibr. the 'Scotch notes than had been anticipated in oint of detail. Many local circumstances, which had not been thoroughly apprehended, were now made plain, and' though the most experienced Members of the Committee still adhered to their view of the general principles . of banking, they agreed that it would not be advisable to change w system which had been found so practically useful. The views of the Committee will be detailed in a Report, which will probably be laid before the House-of Commons early in next week. It is thought that the. same considerations apply, in great part, to Irish banking. The privileges of the Bank of Dublin make a' difference to the disadvantage of the Irish banks ; but, upon the whole, it is not impro- .1 bable that, the Committee may recommend that the Jzish banks, as well as, those of Scotland, may be left on their present footing. DIM REPRESENTATIVE.] • The Journal des Debats of Sunday, says " The hopes which we had founded on the Russian note of the sth of April, appear to us well supported, in spite of the' efforts which different Journals have made to diminish in sonic degree the importance of the docu silent, the text of which we do not pretend to but the substance is as we have reported it.. Russia demands as a preliminary the departure of the Turks 'from Wallachia, and the ,setting at liberty of the Sen.. vian Deputies ; then she proposes to discuss the other' somplaints which she had against the Porte, in the num ber of which are included the cruelties exercised towards ahe' Greek Clergy and individuals of the Greek nation furnished with- protections, particularly in the Morea and the islandi. It is - pasy to see that some g,reat change in Russian politics has been operated, and that the turn which she - takes is not that of a power which fears war. ",4et.us hope then that the 'lurks, blinded by the aunfidence which they place in the friends;iip of some Powers, will adopt vexatious measures against Russia. M. -Minziaki will leave Pera : he will then go to G e neral Sabanief, and probabably it will not be long before we, see the flag of Saint Nicholas floating on hanks of the 'Danube. It. is then that Greece will rise--up .to that time she will support herself."— There id no doubt that the Russian Government has, for a long, period, been very desirous of acquiring pos. session of the-Northern Provinces, and even the me tropolis, of Turkey ;. but w 4,) should be very sorry to "see them in 'her: hands, even though the pretext by hid) she acqared, them, was as magnanimous and in .t ooting as that ,writer ,in, the French newspaper with. admiration. With respect to our own interests,, it is indisputably more , advan tageous for us that these provinces should.be held by an indolent, demi-civilized nation, who have nei- Aber the power nor the inclination of doing us- harm, than by an empire whose might _ is. y: so. great, and which has shown so strong an ambition to ex- 'tend its limits. The possession of Constantinople, the Dardanelles, and the Northern Islands of the Archipelago by the Turks, cannot do us any in jury—they win not interfere either with our mari time power or commercial prosperity. In the hands of the Russians, they , would afford them the op portunity of making a fleet ; and, at all events, would give them a decided monopoly of the trade in the Ar chipelago and the Levant. This is a consummation not to be desired. Austria also has many reasons to object to any increase of territory in favour of Russia. on that side ; nor do we think that France and Prus sia would look with a favourable eye on Russian ag grandizement. Much speculation has been excited by the mission of the Duke of Wellington, as con nected with these questions. It is needless to say that it has been entirely at random. It is amusing to read reports of what the Duke of Wellington said to the Emperor, and what the Emperor said to the Duke, given with as much minuteness of detail as if the writer had been ensconced behind the arras. For our part, we do not think that a war will be the con sequence. of all these motions. It is decidedly the interest of the European community to keep at peace, and no one member of it will be able to make head against that feeling. Nor are the finances of Russia exactly in the state to favour the views entertained by the ambition of her rulers, the fanaticism of her clergy, or the restlessness of her army. We must regret, however, that a question involving such serious politi cal interests has been mixed up with the « Greek cause," and that an opportunity has been thereby afforded, if Russia will take advantage of it, of cover ing ambitious designs with the sounding names of religion and liberty. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Etoile, dated Sunday, May '7.) • FLORENCE, APRIL 24. The following is the copy of a letter written by M. Eynard to the Duke (le Choiseul:—. " I observe, with surprise, that on the 17th of April, you were not yet easy respecting the disastrous news which had been circu lated respecting Missolon,srlii. I find it difficult to conceive that Paris should have been without correct news on this subject for eight days. " The letter which I wrote on the 2l at of April has, doubtless, allayed your apprehensions, by giving you certain facts—viz. th:4t on the sth of April, Missoloughi was occupied by the Greeks, who had successfully repulsed all the attacks of Ibrahim ; my news is authentic, and I may even say official; all the other details are merely on dits—the death of Ibrahim, the arrival of Fabvier, that of the,flect, &c. &c. ; but all this will probably happen ; if our brave fellows have been able to resist without succour, what will become of Ibrahim if the intrepid besieged receive aid by land and sea? " The mail from Ancona will not arrive till the day after to morrow : till then we cannot have any news respecting Misso longhi. Accept, &c. (Signed). "C. G. EYNARD." PARIS, Aran. 6. The', -Trieste Observer of the 25th of April at length breaks its long silence to own that its letters from Corfu announce that, though the fall of Missolonghi appears to be at hand, the lat.st news is more favourable to the besieged. The Government of the insurgents at Napoli di Romania, has ordered Fabvier, with his excellent corps of 8,000 regular troops, and Gouras, with 3,000 other troops, to proceed by way of Corinth, Salon, and Lepanto to join Karaiskaki, and 'snake a diversion in favour of the besieged in the rear of the Seraskier. It is affirmed that this plan has succeeded, and that the' Greek fleet, of 47 sail, with 12 fire-ships, has arrived before Missolonghi. We find in the Gazette of Florence that the communications with Missolonghi are open by way of Palita, whence relief is daily forwarded to the besieged, which has been brought from Zante and other neighbouring islands. A bark which sailed for Ancona the Ist of April, from Campo, near Missoloughi, had confirmed the news of the retaking of Vassiladi by the Greeks, and of Ibra him's being wounded. On the Bth of Apte vessel from Santa Maura arrived at Corfu.: the Captain states, that on the 6th he had heard towards the Sikkth a heavy cannonade from seven in the morning till two in the afternoon, whence it is supposed that there had been an ac tion between the Turkish and Greek fleets. SEP.ILIN, APRIL 2s. Prince Milorch has discovered a conspiracy in Servia, in which the son of the celebrated Czerny George was implicated. The object of this conspiracy was an insurrection against the Porte, and the propagation of anarchy. Many of the conspirators have been arrested, and many of them already executed, The Etoile copies from the Conatit► tionnel. a decree of the Greek Government at Napoli, fur raising in Greece itself a loan, which is not to exceed n million 'of Spanish dollars, for the secu rity of which national estates in different parts of Greece are to be mortgaged ; the lender to have the usufruct of the land, paying, however, the same direct taxes as the other landLolders.

COMMON COUNCIL,---A Court of Common Coun cil was held on Monday, yiereiant to a requisition; to consider of contribution in aid Of 'the subscription raising in London for the relief of the distressed Manufacturers of the country. The Lord mayor took the Chair about two o'clock. After the proceedings of the last Court bad been read, the Reinembrancer laid before the Court the Act recently passed, authorising the Lords of the Treasury to advance monies for the purpose of the New London 13ridge, which was retirred to the Committee. The New Lon don Bridge Committee presented a Report for the Seal of- the Corporation to be affixed to a Deed to the Treasury, for, the re quisite advance of monies accordingly, which was agreed to, and the Deed sealed. A vacancy in the office of First Assistant to •Mr, fiallkeeper, lay the death of Mr. Newson, was notified to the Court,- who referred it to the Committee of City Lands, to in. quire into the nature and Antics of the appointment, and the qua. lifications of the candidates. The requisition was then read. Mr. Deputy Oldham, after a few remarks, moved, that the Chamber. lain do subscribe the sum of 10001. as the' gift of the Court, which was seconded by Mr. Felten. Mr. Dixon spoke shortly in support of the motion, which was unanimously agreed to.—The Court then immediately. broke up. According to a published plan of the proposed al terations in the Strand, the Police Office is to be removed from Bow-etreet, to the site of the'key,; in Chandos-street. A plan is said to be in agitation for appointing. Lords Lieutenants of the different counties in Ireland, one condi tion of the appointment, being that the person holding it shall ac- tually reside not less than six months in every year within his county.

DISTRESSED MAI4tIFACTURERS. We feel much pleasure in giving insertion to the following excellent Address by the London Com mittee : TO THE MANUFACTURERS. AT PRESTON IN DIS TRESS FOR WANT. QV ShiPLOYMENT. it _ 40NDON, MAY 9, 1826. " The Committee who have been 'entrusted with the disttibu tion of the money subscribed for your relief, commence their anxious task by addressing to you a few words of advice and comfort. " It is with heartfelt sympathy and concern that we have learned your present state of distress. No sooner was it known in the metropolis, than a subscription was entered into for your relief, to which all chores have contributed, and which promises fair to supply the means of providing you with the support of which you stand so greatly in need. " Since, therefore, you are now assured Of such a portion of relief as will preserve you from extreme want, we may justly en treat you to wait patiently for better times. We hope they are not far distant; but, whether they be or no, remember, that im patience and disorder on your part will be sure to delay the happy change, by lessening the resources to which you must look for per manent support. Trade and Commerce can flourish only in a quiet and peaceable country. A few years ago the working classes in the agricultural districts were severely tried with distress ; at that time ' you' were in the enjoyment of plenty. You are now called upon to suffer for a season ; but it will be only fir a season; and the more quietly and patiently you bear it, the shorter will that season be. Another motive to patience is, the Christian sympathy which pervades all ranks of people on your behalf; from your Gracious Sovxaztax, who, by his munificent dona tions, has given fresh proofs of his being the Friend of his People, down to the servant and mechanic, who have contributed a por tion of their hard-earned wages to this work of charity, all are feelingly alive to your present wants, and anxious to relieve them. 4 , We are persuaded that you are a loyal and well disposed people ; and that you view with sorrow and disapprobation the acts of violence which some misguided persons have committed, as being injurious, in the highest degree, both to yoUr present in terests, and to your prospects of future employment. The Kixo's Minister present at our great meeting, whilst he promised tbat Government would do its duty, by putting down and punishing acts of violence and disorder, at the same time pleaded for you, a 4 a friend 'whose heart felt for your sufferings ; and testified to your general good conduct. Believe us, when we tell you,. that both the Government of tl a conntry, and your fellow-subjects at large, take the deepest interest in your present distress, and will do all in their power to relieve it. Be content to leave your case in the hands of those who are so kindly disposed towards you. Do not be led away by misrepresentation, to believe that any remedy will be withheld which can with safety be applied to your present case. The mea sures to which some have wickedly and foolishly resorted, are not remedies, but aggravations •of the evil. " The Subscription which we are appointed to,distribute, will be distributed only to those who are peaceable and orderly. A different line of conduct will compel your fellow subjects to with hold both pity and relief, and will dry up the sources of Charity. But we confidently hope better things; and in that hope we en treat you to secure to y ourse l ves the benevolence and respect of those who are able and willing to alleviate your distress ; and, which is of far greater importance, to approve yourselves obe dient and contented servants of Ht3t, who both appoints this trial for your patience, and will in his own good time remove it front you.

NAVAL AND MILITARY BIBLE SOCIETY, The Anniversary of the Naval and Military Bible Society was held yesterday at the Freemasons' Tavern, Admiral Lord Gambier in the Chair. The Report of the Society's proceedings for the last year was rend by Major Close. It appeared from that, the number of Bibles distributed within that period was over 21,200, of which 18,000 were appropriate(' to the military. The Report stated, that the funds of the Society were quite inadequate to meet the increasing demands on it, and earnestly called on its friends and supporters to make such exertions as would enable the Society to achieve the pious objects for whieh it had been established. Q3l the motion of General OKAY, seconded by the Hon. Capt. Nom., the Report was adopted by the meeting. Captain Manual), of the Royal Artillery, after pronouncing a high eulogium on our army and navy, to-whose bravery and self-devotion it was, under Providence, owing, that Europe had been rescued from the chains of a military despotism, and that this country had been raised to the high and commanding station she held amidst surrounding nations, implored the meeting to persevere in their exertions to extend to the sailors. anti the sol diers the blessings of our holy religiOn.' The Gallant Captain concluded by moving, that the thanks of the meeting be given to the Patrons, Vice-Patrons, Presidents, Vice-Presidents, &c. of the Society. The motion was seconded by Captain Aloutswownr, and car ried unanimously. The next resolution was proposed- by General PEACHY, and was to the effect that the grateful acknowledgments of the meeting ware due to the officers of the Society for their acid and activity in promoting its objects. Captain Palm's', R. N. rose, amidst loud cheering, to second the resolution. He disclaimed any intention of enlarging on the merits of the Society, or of enforcing the interesting and important objects for which it had been established; he was merely desirous of stating what, according to his expe rience, was the influence of religious instruction on, the con duct of sailors: he was the more anxious to do so, as there were many distinguished members of the profession to which lie had the honour to belong, who, although inclined to treat religion with all possible respect, still deemed it incon sistent with the temporal duties of a sailor. From such an opinion, however conscientiously entertained, he differed in the most unqualified manner: Having lately had the honour to command, seamen under very peculiar and trying circum stances, and receiving, 119 be- did, the most implicit and immediate obedience on their part, be was, after due con sideration, convinced that the maintenance of such exem plary discipline was owing to the improvement of their moral and religious character.—(Applause.)—ln the schools established on board the ship, the first object was religious instruction; and .the result fully satisfied him that the true reli gion of Christ, so far from being a hindrance to the performance of arduous duties, was in itself a strong motive for exertion;— (applause)—and his honest impression was, that in proportion as s 'dors received religious instruction, so would they become what England would wish to.see them. During the expeditions on which he had been recently engaged,the best sailors—he meant those who were called on on an emergency—were the men who had thought most and seriously on religioq.—(Hear, hear !)—And if he were required to make a more limited selection for the execution of a difficult duty, he would have chosen two or three who were emi nently religious.—(Applause.)--Far be it from him to advocate the diffusion of spiritual knowledge.on temporal grounds, and his only motive for taking this last view of the question was to spew that the two objects not only did not clash, but were, in, fact, really united ; and that the best Christian Ives invariably the best subject ; so that, from a consideration for the interests of our beloved country, we should never relax our exertions, until by the blessing of God, from whom alone all human efforts derived their efficacy, we communicated to the sailor the inestimable bene fits of a religious education. Then, and then only, could we send out our fleets under the special protection of Ged, not trusting in our own strength, but strong in the Lord.—(Applause.) The Resolution was then carried. Capt. BASILGAIT, the Naval Secretary, returned thanks. The next Resolution, which conveyed,the thanks of the Meet ing to the members of the several Auxiliary Societies, and to the other individuals who had aided in forwarding the objects of the .Society, was proposed by the Rev. Mr. Close, brother to the Military Secretary, and seconded by Major Horsley. The thanks of the meeting, on the motion of Colonel Le Blanc, seconded by the Rev, Mr Conyngliatn, were also voted to the Right Rev. the Bishop of Bath and Wells. The next Resolution, which was moved by ihe Honourable and Remaly! O. Nom, and seconded by Major-General Ns mix, expressed the unfeigned gratitude of the, meeting, to the Almighty God for the benefits which had hitherto attended the exertions of the Society; and added an earnest hope that the Society might not, owing to the inadequacy of its funds, be com pelled to relinguish the object to which, since its institution, it had been devoted with so much seal and success. A vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman, on the motion of the Rev. Mr. lavreo, the Noble and Gallant Admiral, after having returned thanks, proceeded to : give out a hymn, which was sung by the whole of the meeting, his Lordship him self participating in it with great fervour BRITISH SHIPPINa. The following is an extract from the Ship-owners' Petition, to answer the complaints contained in which is the object of Mr. Huskisson's motion on Friday : " The petitioners are sensible of the intimate connection that the shipping bear to the great question of national security ; and that, while this system continues, of the impossibility of their ever being placed on a footing of real equality or reciprocity with foreigners by any reniission of direct taxation, whether on the materials used oq the building and equipment of ships, in the shape of charges incidental to navigation. The foreigner enters this system under the term reciprocity, with an advantage of at least 50 per cent. on the capital employed, and 60 per cent. on the sailing expences, and in seamen's wages the proportion is still Breater, via.:— ritish Seamen, Baltic voyages, '7os. to 755. average 72s 6d. per month. Dutch 2Bs, Prussian 24s. to 26s 2ss. Swedes and Norwegians Russian The Petitioners, therefore, submit with confidence to the House that, as regards navigation, there is now no reciprocity Of expences between British and Foreign Shipping; and that, when the re striction or protection was taken away, the security of this great maritime state was removed ; that the balance of actual benefits must, under such a system of unrestricted competition, devolve on those countries whose shipping can be built, equipped, and navigated on the cheapest terms, &c." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL.—George Blanchard was charged with steal ing two chests of tea from a Mr. Bradbury, a grocer in White- chapel. The prisoner bargained for the tea on Monday morning, as if he was a country dealer, and ordered it to be sent to the White Hart, Giltspur-street, promising to pay ready money on delivery. Mr. Bradbury accompanied the goods, and Blanchard, after treating him with two bottles of wine, tendered him, instead of 411. 185. 6d. in cash, a 40/. bill of his (complainant's) own, and the odd Money in cash. The bill was due in April last, but it had not been endorsed by the drawer. Mr. Bradbury and a Mr. Burt had been in partnership, but the former had purchased the business, paying Burt partly in cash and partly in bills, of which the one in question was the only bill unpaid, and which had been dishonoured, because Burt now owed him double the amount. Burt however raised 371. on the bill, and the holder devised the scheme of sending Blanchard, a stranger, to purchase goods, and pay for them with the over-due bill, which was carried into effect, and tea secured, but Blanchard was given into custody. Mr. Alderman Lucas held the taking not to be felonious, but ordered the prisoner to find bail for an assault. 130 W-STREET.—Mr. Frederick Bradley was charged with threatening the life of his wife, the eldest daughter of Lady Hawke. The examination took, place in the private room, but the following is the substance of the proceedings:--The marriage was, it appeared, a love-match, but they nevertheless separated in about 18 months, the lady complaining of the husband's want of temper and irregular habits, and the husband finding like fault with the lady, and betraying suspicion of an improper intimacy between her and a former admirer (Mr. W.) After the separation, Mr. W. and the Lady lived openly together, and the latter accused her husband of visiting her repeatedly, in the full possession of the above fact, sometimes for the purpose of coaxing her, at others only to obtain money from her. Though she was continually changing her lodgings, he always traced her, and having related to her landlady the circumstances, the latter had, at one of his visits, told him he was living on his wife's prostitution. This enraged him, and he called out at the foot of the stairs to his wife, 4, Cotne down, you wretch, I'll tear you piecemeal—l will be the death. of you;" which so alarmed Mrs. Bradley, that she was about to jump out of the window. This was the ground of the complaint ; and after the parties had been criminating and recriminating each other for an hour, the Magis trates ordered the husband to enter into his own recognizances in 1001. to keep the peace. MARY-LA-BONNE.—Mr. Kent, baker, of Hampstead, was fined in the mitigated penalty for not having in his possession scales, &c. to weigh his bread previous to delivery. Mr. K. said, he understood the Act had expired, but Johnson, the notorious in former, who had brought the charge, said, the 6th and 7th sections had been repealed, but the rest of the Act was perpetual; and, by the 106th section, Bakers were compaled to weigh bread pre vious to delivery, whether required to do so by their customers or not. J. Gullinr, driver of a Paddington coach, was admitted to bail, charged with wilfully driving against a Kensington stage, by which the latter was overturned, and the lives of the passengers endangered.
